Double Coverage

Archives for April 2016

On this week’s episode, Parrish Alford and Logan Lowery talk about what transpired during the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night. Parrish is in Chicago to cover the draft, and he and Logan talk at length about the biggest story of the night – the saga involving Ole Miss offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil (3:10). They also talk about Tunsil’s comments on receiving money from Ole Miss coaches and how that could impact the NCAA’s investigation into the university (9:57). In addition to Tunsil, Ole Miss players Robert Nkemdiche and Laquon Treadwell were drafted on Thursday, and Mississippi State’s Chris Jones (17:54) is expected to be picked early in the second round.

Finally, Parrish and Logan look at Mississippi State’s baseball series against Alabama (22:14) and Ole Miss’s series with LSU (27:37).

It’s the time of year when coaches are out on the road meeting and greeting fans, and Parrish Alford has a recap of the Rebel Road Trip’s stop in Tupelo on Thursday (6:59), as well as a recap of the news regarding Ole Miss and the NCAA (3:11). MSU’s Road Dawgs Tour hits Tupelo next week, and Logan Lowery previews that visit (8:10). Both schools are finished with spring football, and the guys wrap up MSU’s spring game (11:00) while looking at the expectations for Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly (15:15). There’s also a little State recruiting talk (21:52), along with previews of this weekend’s baseball series – the Rebels host Auburn (24:45), while the Bulldogs visit LSU (28:08).

It’s April, so naturally there is plenty of football to talk about on this week’s episode. At Mississippi State, receiver Fred Brown has been dismissed from school (2:24), while coach Dan Mullen is still mulling what to do about big-time signee Jeffrey Simmons (5:02). With the NFL Draft coming up, Logan and Parrish discuss how the Tennessee Titans trading the No. 1 pick might affect where Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil will land (5:58). He’s a first-rounder, as could be MSU’s Chris Jones (8:12) and the Rebels’ Robert Nkemdiche (12:18). On the basketball front, Ole Miss picked up a transfer point guard (13:17). And on the diamond, the Bulldogs are rolling along (18:36) while the Rebs are coming off a big sweep of Arkansas (23:33).

As Ole Miss and Mississippi State work their way through spring football practice, Parrish and Logan talk about their needs for the upcoming season (1:17). That includes quarterbacks at both schools, wide receivers at MSU and defensive linemen at Ole Miss. The two beat reporters also talk baseball (19:23). Ole Miss will shuffle two of its starting pitchers this weekend and is also looking for more consistent hitting, especially against the conference’s best pitchers. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, look for more success from their No. 3 spot in the rotation. Finally, Parrish interviews Ole Miss men’s basketball coach Andy Kennedy (30:40) about new SEC basketball consultant Mike Tranghese, ways to improve the conference’s performance and the Rebels’ recruiting needs.
